Up until now, I have been burying my head in the sand when it comes to the continuous and offensive stream of belligerent comments made by Trump (see "You can do anything... Grab them by the xxxxx. You can do anything").
Faced with critically low fuel reserves and subjected to almost continuous air attacks, on September 2 Rommel broke off the offensive and made a gradual withdrawal.
The American-Arab anti-Discrimination Committee urged a boycott over the surveillance and administration support for Israel during the current Gaza offensive, rejecting what it called "normalization of the continuous breach of our fundamental rights".
Israel's numerous breaches of human rights principles and of international humanitarian law, whether during the Gaza offensive in the winter of 2008-09 or through the continuous expansion of its settlement project in the West Bank, clearly contravene this commitment.
The Germans had maintained a continuous front but only by using reserves which made it impossible to begin the counter-offensive planned by which made the offensive a considerable Allied success as part of a strategy of attrition based on organised fire power.
When the 8th Army launched its next offensive, in mid January 1943, Rommel fell back again, making an almost continuous 350-mile (560-km) withdrawal, past Tripoli, to the Mareth Line inside the Tunisian frontier.
The ending of the negotiations in Geneva and a Russian-backed regime offensive to encircle Aleppo raised the spectre of war without end and a continuous stream of refugees in the future.
It is clear that, given enough aeroplanes to pour a massed and continuous fire on the German routes to the battle-line, we could have made the present offensive largely futile.
Now the French Commander in Chief General Maurice Gamelin was more than interested in including the Dutch in his continuous front as, like Major-General Bernard Montgomery four years later, he hoped to circle around the Westwall when the Entente launched its planned 1941 offensive.
